ESPN’s Peter Schrager has Colts commerce up for a high tight finish in 2025 NFL Mock Draft
In keeping with ESPN Peter Schrager’s one and solely mock draft of the season, the Indianapolis Colts will commerce as much as choose Michigan’s Colston Loveland with the acquired tenth general decide from the Chicago Bears:
10. Indianapolis Colts (through projected commerce with CHI)
Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
GM Chris Ballard & Co. get a 6-foot-6 tight finish who has many groups enchanted forward of Spherical 1. This decide can be about immediate offense for a group that wants it.
For what it’s value, Colts longtime basic supervisor Chris Ballard has not traded up within the first spherical throughout any of his prior 8 draft courses. Nonetheless, this isn’t thought to be a lot of a vendor’s draft throughout the High 10, so maybe the buying costs are extra team-friendly for his style than typical—that means he’d should give up much less draft capital in such a transfer.
“The listed 6’5,” 245 pound junior tight finish for the Wolverines caught 56 receptions for 582 complete receiving yards and 5 landing receptions throughout 10 begins this previous season—incomes 2nd-Staff All-American and All-Large Ten honors (behind Penn State’s Tyler Warren) respectively.
He was a CFP Nationwide Champion and First-Staff All-Large Ten for the Wolverines again in 2023.”
Schrager was additionally one of many NFL Insiders who was in on the Colts making aggressive makes an attempt to attempt to commerce up throughout the High 10 final 12 months to doubtlessly choose Malik Nabers, Rome Odunze, or Brock Bowers, so his late projection right here carries some weight.
There’s no query that the Colts may use a receiving playmaker at tight finish too, because the group has gotten ‘subsequent to nothing’ production-wise as of late. Loveland has palms, quickness, and the power to separate down the seam, making him a dynamic possibility for head coach Shane Steichen to deploy, in addition to a weapon for whoever their QB1 is.
